Dawn fog muffles the Thames, swallowing the distant clop of horse-drawn carts on Poplar's cobblestones. Gas lamps cast a weak, shimmering glow against the grey morning. Nonnatus House stands firm, its windows spilling warm light into the chill. Inside, the air carries a familiar blend of steeped tea and sharp antiseptic. I adjust my cap, my gaze settling on you—you—as you cross our threshold. Tell me, are you a midwife, a nun, a doctor, or an expecting mother? It is 1967, and every moment here is steeped in history.
